Seattle Win to Pull Even With Oakland
The Seattle Mariners topped the Oakland Athletics by the score of 4-1 and moved into a 1-1 tie in the Divisional Series today. The largest share of the credit belongs to Seattle starter Marco Benitez, who threw 6.1 innings of 5-hit ball in the win.

Seattle relied on the hitting of Ken Griffey Jr. to pick up the win. The center fielder clubbed a solo home run in the top of the second inning to put the Mariners on top, 1-0. For the game, Griffey Jr. had 1 home run and 1 single in 4 at-bats.

"It feels a lot better to be tied than to be behind, even if it is only one game," Seattle manager John Healy said.

The next game is set to be played for Sunday, October 5th , 1997 at Kingdome 1977 in Seattle.
